The Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger is hoping to marry boyfriend Lewis Hamilton "soon" - because she's feeling broody and wants to start a family as a married woman. The singer began dating the Formula 1 racing driver in 2008 but they called off their relationship in January to concentrate on their careers.

They reunited a month later and Scherzinger is so smitten with Hamilton, she admits she wants to walk down the aisle with him as soon as possible. She tells Britain's Daily Express, "I'm really traditional. I'd want to be married before we have children and that's something we'll be doing soon hopefully."

Actress Kristen Bell has urged her fans to dig deep to help her raise $100,000 for a water charity. The "Veronica Mars" star has created a personal target for Mycharitywater.org, a non-profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to citizens in developing nations - and she wants her loyal fans to help her achieve her goal.

In a post on the charity's website, she writes, "A billion people in the world are living without clean water. Eff that. Water-borne illness is the second highest cause of childhood death in the world. Not on my watch."

British actress Jaime Winstone ended her relationship with Lily Allen's brother Alfie because she couldn't cope as one-half of a famous couple. The 25 year old began dating the Atonement star in 2007 and last year it was rumored they were engaged.

But the pair split earlier this year - and Winstone admits they called it quits because of the pressures of fame. She says, "Our engagement was announced three times but we were never engaged. It's not healthy to have all that attention. I couldn't deal with being an 'It' couple."

Mel Gibson feared his anger was "out of control" and he was suffering "some kind of male menopause" as his relationship with Oksana Grigorieva collapsed, according to a letter allegedly written by the star. Gibson reportedly penned the rambling note to Grigorieva in December 2008, more than a year before the couple's split and the January bust-up when the Russian singer claims the actor knocked out her teeth.

In the letter, obtained by TMZ.com, the writer describes feeling so out of control he "could drink or commit a crime" and talks about going away to seek help for his problems. It reads, "I don't know why I'm so whacky (sic) and depressed but I need to get well and re-enter life. Please don't be upset I've gone - I'm just not myself and feel bad when I am so f**ked up and sick around you. I don't want to inflict this unhealthy version of myself on you..."

The clip was previewed earlier this week on the show's YouTube channel. Immediately some disapproving people made comments such as "It would have been a great video, if she didn't look like a w***e", "You can practically see her t*ts. That's some wonderful children's programming" and "She shud concentrate on her singing and care less bout her chest lookin good for lil kids."

"Transformers" star Rachael Taylor has been granted a temporary court order to keep her former fiance Matthew Newton away from her after she accused him of several "unprovoked violent assaults". The actress broke off the engagement over the summer and just a day after Newton checked himself into rehab, Taylor's lawyers went to court in her native Australia to apply for an apprehended violence order (AVO) against the star.

In the legal documents, Taylor alleges she suffered two "gravely serious" attacks at the hands of the "Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities" actor during a vacation in Italy in August. The case went to court in Sydney on Wednesday, September 22 and lawyers representing both stars agreed to the conditions of the order, which is designed to protect Taylor.

Demi Moore will fly to Melbourne next week to testify as part of her ongoing legal battle with an Australian gossip magazine. The Hollywood actress is suing the editors of New Idea, accusing them of printing a series of pictures of her taken at an Oscars party in 2008 without her permission.

Professional footballer David Beckham refused to take no action over recent swirling allegation launched by In Touch Weekly mentioning he cheated on wife Victoria Adams by bedding "$10,000-a-night hooker" Irma Nici. Fighting the claim back, David's rep told Us Magazine, "The allegations that have been made are completely untrue and totally ridiculous."

"Sadly, we live in a world where a magazine can print lies and believe they can get away with it. We are taking legal action against the magazine," the rep further said. And it wasn't only David's rep who denied the story. A friend called the allegation a "stitch-up job", adding to The Sun "David has been set up and we believe it may be a malicious attempt to discredit him."

Giving away scenes from the first Deathly Hallows film, it sees the wizarding world being aware of the dark times they are facing and how people close to Harry Potter try to protect him.
